Abstract

A method of implanting a prosthetic heart valve assembly includes advancing a delivery catheter through a vein and toward a native heart valve. The prosthetic heart valve assembly is deployed from a lumen of the delivery catheter, allowing the prosthetic heart valve assembly to self-expand from a compressed state to a functional size within an annulus of the native heart valve with a flared upper portion of the stent located in an atrium against a supra-annular surface of the annulus of the native heart valve. An elongate anchoring member is attached to a septum of a ventricle at a location below the annulus. The flared upper portion contacts a supra-annular surface of the native heart valve for preventing downward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the ventricle and the elongate anchoring member prevents upward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the atrium.

Claims (32)

1. A method of implanting a prosthetic heart valve assembly, comprising:

inserting a prosthetic heart valve assembly in a compressed state into a heart, the heart valve assembly comprising a self-expandable stent having a flared upper portion, a lower portion, and an intermediate portion extending from the upper portion to the lower portion, wherein the stent tapers from the upper portion toward the lower portion, the heart valve assembly further comprising hooks extending from an outer surface of the stent, a valve portion positioned within a passageway in the stent, and an elongate anchoring member extending from the lower portion of the stent;

advancing the heart valve assembly from a distal end of a sheath for allowing the stent to radially expand from the compressed state to a functional size in a native valve of the heart such that the flared upper portion is deployed in an atrium of the heart and the intermediate portion of the stent is positioned within an annulus of a native heart valve and the hooks extend upwardly toward the flared upper portion and engage native leaflet tissue; and

attaching the elongate anchoring member to a wall of a ventricle;

wherein the flared upper portion contacts a supra-annular surface of the native heart valve for preventing downward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the ventricle and the hooks and the elongate anchoring member prevent upward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the atrium.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein attaching the elongate anchoring member to a wall of the ventricle comprises attaching the elongate anchoring member to a septum of the ventricle.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the elongate anchoring member is attached to the septum with a pronged portion that penetrates the septum.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the elongate anchoring member is attached to the septum with a screw-type anchor member.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the elongate anchoring member is attached to the septum at a location below the native heart valve.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the self-expandable stent has a D-shape for conforming to the annulus of the native heart valve.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heart valve assembly, in the compressed state, is advanced through a femoral vein and into the heart.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heart valve assembly, in the compressed state, is advanced through a jugular vein and into the heart.

9. A method of implanting a prosthetic heart valve assembly, comprising:

advancing a delivery catheter through a vein and toward a native heart valve located between an atrium and a ventricle of a heart, the delivery catheter having a prosthetic heart valve assembly disposed along a distal end thereof in a compressed state, wherein the heart valve assembly comprises a self-expandable outer support frame, a valve portion disposed within a passageway in the outer support frame, and an elongate anchoring member extending from a lower portion of the outer support frame;

deploying the prosthetic heart valve assembly from a lumen of the delivery catheter and allowing the prosthetic heart valve assembly to self-expand from the compressed state to a functional size within an annulus of the native heart valve with a flared upper portion of the outer support frame located in the atrium against a supra-annular surface of the annulus of the native heart valve;

attaching the elongate anchoring member to a wall of the ventricle at a location below the annulus;

wherein the flared upper portion contacts a supra-annular surface of the native heart valve for preventing downward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the ventricle and the elongate anchoring member prevents upward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the atrium.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein deploying the prosthetic heart valve assembly comprises engaging native leaflet tissue with upwardly bent hooks of the prosthetic heart valve assembly.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the outer support frame tapers from the flared upper portion toward the lower portion of the outer support frame.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the elongate anchoring member is attached to the wall of the ventricle with a pronged portion that penetrates the wall of the ventricle.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the prong portion comprises a pair of prongs.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pair of prongs form a branched double hook.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pronged portion is formed from shape memory material and is delivered to the heart in a radially compressed state and then expanded inside the heart to engage the septum.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pronged portion extends partially into the wall of the ventricle.

17. The method of claim 9 , wherein attaching the elongate anchoring member to a wall of the ventricle comprises attaching the elongate anhcoring member to a septum of the ventricle.

18. A method of implanting a prosthetic heart valve assembly, comprising:

advancing a delivery catheter into a heart toward a native heart valve located between an atrium and a ventricle of a heart, the delivery catheter having a prosthetic heart valve assembly disposed along a distal end thereof in a compressed state, wherein the heart valve assembly comprises a self-expandable stent, a valve portion disposed within a passageway in the stent, and an elongate anchoring member extending from a lower portion of the stent;

deploying the prosthetic heart valve assembly from a lumen of the delivery catheter and allowing the prosthetic heart valve assembly to self-expand from the compressed state to a functional size within an annulus of the native heart valve such that a flared upper portion of the stent is located in the atrium against a supra-annular surface of the annulus of the native heart valve and hooks of the prosthetic heart valve assembly extend upwardly from an outer surface of the stent and engage native leaflet tissue;

after deploying the prosthetic heart valve assembly, attaching the elongate anchoring member to the septum of a ventricle at a location below the annulus with a pronged member;

wherein the flared upper portion contacts a supra-annular surface of the native heart valve for preventing downward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the ventricle and the hooks and the elongate anchoring member prevent upward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the atrium.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the self-expandable stent has a D-shape for conforming to the annulus of the native heart valve.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the pronged member is formed from shape memory material and is delivered to the heart in a radially compressed state and then expanded inside the heart to engage the septum.
